What these specifications do and do not say

Use the listed CPU, graphics, memory and operating-system tiers as the starting point for checking your own setup. A hardware list alone does not establish a guaranteed frame rate or a specific resolution. The checked Steam requirements do not attach a performance target to these tiers.

Steam’s listing says a Ubisoft account is required and recommends a controller. The 33 GB storage figure is the listed requirement, not a guarantee that an installed build or later updates will always use exactly that amount.

The checked listing shows Steam Deck compatibility as Unknown. We have not verified Linux, macOS or handheld PC compatibility, so none is promised here.

Next, choose the PC edition

Both checked Steam editions include Retold and Origins: Enhanced Edition. Deluxe adds the Retro Pack and in-game Art Gallery; it is not listed as a separate hardware tier.

Read the edition contents and dated US prices, then open the Steam product page to confirm the current offer for your country.
